Chapter 443

Lacey was in a terrible mood. After Emily threatened her and her family, she exploded in rage.

“Emily, that’s enough!

Because we were friends in the past, I’ve gone easy on you several times. What about you? You’ve been targeting me and setting me up. Your actions are getting worse. If my guess is correct, it must be you behind the scenes again. You’re framing us, right?”

Emily said indifferently, “Ha. Your family is making it big right now. You have connections with both normal and underground societies. How will I dare to cross you? You’ve offended someone important.

That person wants to deal with you.”

“Who is it?”

“I’m not telling you.”

Unable to hold himself back as well, Daniel asked Adam, “Dad, so you’re here to help them set us up and take away my assets?”

Jeremy reprimanded, “Shut up, Daniel. Watch your tone. Dad’s trying to look for a way for you to avoid the worst ending. He’s helping you. Don’t be ungrateful.”

Hannah mumbled under her breath, “How can you be grateful to someone who sets you up?”

“Rascal.” The veins on Adam’s temples had popped out. “H-How dare you claim that I’m setting you up? You’re an unfilial child! Daniel, I’m warning you now. That person you’ve crossed has already gotten evidence of your crimes. You’ll definitely be arrested today. The only way out of this now is to transfer your company to Emily. Beg her to put in a good word for you. Maybe you’ll get out of this alive. Furthermore, if you do as I say, I can guarantee you I’ll take care of Sharon until she’s of age.”

Daniel gritted out, “No need. We have nothing to be afraid of. Even if that person is powerful, he can’t be more powerful than the law. This is a joke.”

Adam seethed, “Stubborn child.”

Madeleine sneered, “Forget it. It’s a waste of my time to talk to you. Let’s leave. Soon, they’ll be on their knees to beg for our mercy.”

The group left.

Lacey looked at her father worriedly. “Dad, what do you think they’re up to this time?”

Daniel shook his head. “I don’t know. Lacey, you should’ve listened to Zeke back then. You shouldn’t have been merciful to them. They’re a bunch of ingrates. The longer you let them do as they please, the more rampant they become.”

Hannah sighed, “That’s right. If Zeke is here, we wouldn’t have to worry about this. I’m sure he’ll be able to settle this well.”

At the mention of Zeke, they fell silent again.

After a long while, Lacey took in a deep breath and said, “Dad, Mom, don’t worry. Even if Emily does something behind the scenes, I’ll bear the responsibility for everything. I won’t let them involve you. The opening ceremony is starting. Let’s go.”

“Okay.”

They nodded and walked out of the lounge.

Dawn walked at the very end of the group.

As the informant, she immediately reported what had happened to Zeke to prepare him.

Zeke answered quickly. Great! I’m sure after this incident, Lacey won’t be soft-hearted toward them anymore. I’m sure she won’t stop me from getting rid of them once and for all.

Dawn: Good luck, Zeke.

It was crowded and noisy in the hall.

Almost a thousand of the guests were already seated, and they were in a heated discussion.

Just a moment earlier, they had gotten news that thousands of men had gathered at the borders of Oakheart City.

The gang leaders who ruled over the eight cities in Rivermouth were leading the men.

It was an unusual situation, and everyone could not help but pay attention.

Some guessed that it might have something to do with Love in a Fallen City.

After all, the person-in-charge of Love in a Fallen City, Zeke Williams, had recently taken down Riverdale District and the underworld forces of Rivermouth. He had disrupted their regularity, and he was now in the limelight.

Moreover, there were rumors of his involvement in Hades’ death.

Most likely, those men were coming after Zeke Williams.
